Thanksgiving Turkey without the stuffing, sacrilege
One of the most beloved dishes at the Thanksgiving table is the stuffing. A mix of seasoned vegetables and starches that is traditionally cooked within the cavity of the turkey, stuffing can be traced back to the Roman Empire. Today, however, it is most widely associated with Thanksgiving. Although a basic stuffing is made from bread cubes, vegetables and seasonings, there are hundreds of variations that contain an endless combination of flavors, including oysters, cornbread, rice, pecans, sausage, bacon, dried fruit, potatoes, apples and more.
With the advent of Stove Top Stuffing in 1972, many Americans abandoned their family recipes in favor of the six-ounce, sodium-laden box, but homemade stuffing is once again “in.” Here are six of FriendsEat.com’s favorite recipes to accompany your Thanksgiving meal.
